And carried it to a land of trade;
He set it in a city of merchants.

6 And it grew and became a spreading vine aof low stature;
Its branches turned toward him,
But its roots were under it.
So it became a vine,
Brought forth branches,
And put forth shoots.

But its roots were under it.
So it became a vine,
Brought forth branches,
And put forth shoots.

And behold, athis vine bent its roots toward him,
And stretched its branches toward him,
From the garden terrace where it had been planted,
That he might water it.

And stretched its branches toward him,
From the garden terrace where it had been planted,
That he might water it.

To bring forth branches, bear fruit,
And become a majestic vine.” ’

And become a majestic vine.” ’
